mm: vma_adjust: remove superfluous confusing update in remove_next == 1 case
mm->highest_vm_end doesn't need any update. After finally removing the oddness from vma_merge case 8 that was causing: 1) constant risk of trouble whenever anybody would check vma fields from rmap_walks, like it happened when page migration was introduced and it read the vma->vm_page_prot from a rmap_walk 2) the callers of vma_merge to re-initialize any value different from the current vma, instead of vma_merge() more reliably returning a vma that already matches all fields passed as parameter .. it is also worth to take the opportunity of cleaning up superfluous code in vma_adjust(), that if not removed adds up to the hard readability of the function.
